Started a new thread on the off chance () that something funny might happen in my street later. Maybe around 10pm...

Diagram below for the handful of people in the country that haven't printed it off yet...

originalcatlady , absolutely. If I lived opposite WitchQueenofDarkness's sign, I would stubbornly park right opposite their driveway as often as possible. There's one like that near DD's school. Think they can forbid people from using a legitimate parking bay either side of their gate just because it borders their dropped kerb and clearly they're entitled to an extra 2 spaces as well as their drive just so that they can turn out of the exit without having to think about it.

Daisydrum · 04/02/2020 14:03

I only get angry when parents park over the drive access. Please park in the legitimate space on the road about 20 feet down and not over a drive access that people need!

originalcatlady · 04/02/2020 14:19

She's in 3. I repeat. B is in 3.

Enters house with a very loud "have you seen it out here again?! Ridiculous!"

😂 I tuned in just at the right time.....

Gogolego · 04/02/2020 14:26

Oooooo I sense this evening is going to be drama drama drama. Prays that B doesn't leave the house before we have a full compliment of residents

mummmy2017 · 04/02/2020 14:29

B when will you take a stand?Grin

HopeYouStepOnALego · 04/02/2020 14:32

@Snazzysausage, please start a thread here on MN. Sounds like you have some stories to tell Grin

Snazzysausage · 04/02/2020 14:37

I bet B's last hour at work is a nightmare for her, wondering if she'll get her favourite spot to park! I'm intrigued to know at what point this self- entitlement develops. Even if you've been able to park in your favourite spot for years,most reasonable people accept that at some point it may change and just think they've done well to park there for so long. The entitlement of some drivers is staggering!

Lweji · 04/02/2020 14:47

B is in 3.
How was she able to walk home from there?
And how did she park in 3? Did she reverse in? Did she turn her car around? Did she go all the way to 4 and then back?
Questions, questions...

Snazzysausage · 04/02/2020 14:48

@HopeYouStepOnALego
Perhaps I will! 🙂

Snazzysausage · 04/02/2020 14:56

Hope B's getting regular blood pressure checks - and poor Mr B, bet he's be getting his ear bent! Oh to be a fly on the wall ....

Snazzysausage · 04/02/2020 14:58

He's getting I meant!

Daisydrum · 04/02/2020 15:00

Grin B is in 3.
And its “ridiculous” simply because A has a visitor. Oh the madness!

@originalcatlady

Why are you posting under 2 different names?

sunshinesupermum · 04/02/2020 15:08

She's in 3. I repeat. B is in 3. Enters house with a very loud "have you seen it out here again?! Ridiculous!"

Exactly how far does B have to walk to her house from 3 OP?

Lweji · 04/02/2020 15:17

I bet she's the type of driver who'll double park just not to walk 10m or less to a shop. Or having to park between two cars. Grin

originalcatlady · 04/02/2020 15:21

C has gone out. B has now reversed into 2. Dangerous game though...if D comes home and A stays the night...

OP posts:
MaggieFS · 04/02/2020 15:22

Which shifts is B on this week?

sunshinesupermum · 04/02/2020 15:27

Why has C gone out? Doesn't she know she is meant to stay in her slot all the time!

Lweji · 04/02/2020 15:28

Some serious curtain twitching will have to be happening in B, then.

Lweji · 04/02/2020 15:29

It may be a deliberate move by C to get B stuck between two cars.

@Tangfastics If you're troll hunting, bugger off and report this properly.

TeetotalKoala · 04/02/2020 15:40

I'm guessing C is on the school run. So B will be good and trapped when she gets home.
